SEX CRIMINALS—So good, it should be illegal

Posted on February 13, 2014 by Kat Salazar

The second issue of Chip Zdarsky and Matt Fraction's SEX CRIMINALS, the critically acclaimed Image Comics series that everyone is addicted to, has sold out again at the distributor level and will be going into a fourth printing.

“This issue holds a very special place in my heart,” said a teary-eyed Zdarsky. “It's the one where Matt forced me to draw hundreds of dildos and pornographic movie cases. My feelings for Matt are very complicated."

SEX CRIMINALS launched on 9/25/2013 and shot to pull-list stardom quickly thereafter. Time magazine dubbed SEX CRIMINALS the #1 comic series of the year, Multiversity Comics named it Best New Series of 2013, ComicsAlliance recognized Chip Zdarsky as one of the Best Artists of 2013, and writer/actor Wil Wheaton calls it “one of the best things I’ve ever read, period.”

SEX CRIMINALS #2 has completely sold out at the distributor level, but may still be available in comic stores. It is currently available digitally on the Image Comics website (imagecomics.com) as well as on Comixology on the web (comixology.com), Android, and Google Play.

Image Comics is pleased to announce that the second issue will be going back to print to meet customer demand. The fourth printing of SEX CRIMINALS #2 (Diamond Code JAN148059) will release on 3/12.

SEX CRIMINALS #5 will release on 3/19 and can be pre-ordered with Diamond Code: DEC130595. Issues #1-4 will all be available and in print at the time of the fifth issue's release.

NEW STORY! NEW ARC! SAME OLD MATT AND CHIP. Jon and Suzie have a gift: when they have sex, they stop time. And they’re not alone. Get on board the book that’s been called “hilarious” and “arousing”— by Chip’s mommy. OH! All these issues? They’re all in a sealed bag because 1000 totally random blank covers have been “customized” by Matt and Chip. Will YOU be one of the lucky ones (thousand)? Will YOUR copy be worth a million dollars one day because it is one-of-a-kind and unique (probably not)? YES! (No.)

She can seemingly control time and space with her...parts. She's as relentless a manhunter as law enforcement ever created.

Jon and Suzie get in too deep way too fast as one little sexy fun party crime begets another and the villains of the piece descend. Turns out Jon and Suzie aren't the only ones after all…

I really like this cover. Doesn’t compare with the fourth printing of the first issue, but then again, it’s nice Chip isn’t trying to suck the money out of us by tempting us to re-buy issues.
